Sin, too bad almost no1 knows about superheating, it is super-efficient! If you manually make iron bars you'd get about 90k mage xp an hour + 15k smithing xp an hour.... I mine the ores myself leaving me with 0 gp loss every superheat.. When making mithril bars I get 100gp every superheat, even when I buy all supplies.. If you're 70 smithing, you gain like 350gp every superheat and 40k mage xp per hour.. That's pretty beast
Made this guide on other forums!
Alright, talking through my experience, most of the people I've talked to about superheating don't know what it is. I feel this should be as common as alching! I found this picture on a website, and I've edited all prices to current, and all of them are more or less stable. As you can see, you can make huge profit from making adamantite bars and mithril bars, although magic xp reduces since there's more clicking involved than just making iron ores to iron bars. If I ever want epic magic xp (about 90k+/hr) and decent smithing xp (about 15k/hr) and lose a small amount of money (great investment though, cause you can make iron knives from iron bars and still profit to a minimum) I make iron bars. With iron bars I average about 1600/hr, hence the magic xp. So the loss p/h would be 1600x70=112k gp every hour. Here's a how-to video on iron bars;
. The other method I use when I want to make money is mithril bars, with this my magic xp averages about 65k mage xp/hr and 30k smithing xp/hr. Because of the extra clicking your magix xp reduces slightly, but your smithing xp increases. You make about 150gpea from every bar, and I average about 900 bars/hr so lets calculate the gp/hr; 900x150=135k an hour. That's pretty beast if you tell me. You can always switch between these methods so you balance your outcome and income! If you're interested I'll be glad to help you! through this thread! The disadvantages of doing this, if you want the good xp you have to stay near a bank and it's not really afkable, like alching is.. But i'd still prefer doing superheating over alching any day! Also, high-alching takes 3 seconds every alch, and every superheat takes about 0,75-1,25 seconds. EDIT; ALSO, 43 MAGIC AND 15 SMITHING ARE THE LOWEST REQUIREMENTS TO START DOING SUPERHEATING (IRON BARS), AND WHEN YOU'RE 50 SMITHING YOU CAN MAKE MITHRIL BARS
